Orthodontics

This is the treatment of teeth complications with various devices, by moving the teeth, in order to ensure an ideal aesthetics, chewing and talking.

Teeth complications may be genetic or environmental.

The normality of chewing, talking and aesthetic appearance can only occur with lined up teeth and the appropriate horizontal and vertical closing of the upper jaw and the lower jaw.

What do Orthodontic problems cause?

Apart from aesthetic appearance, complicated teeth cause a number of problems.

• Function:
  May cause digestive problems due to insufficient chewing.
• Teeth and gum health:
  Due to brushing difficulties, the bacteria plaque on some teeth can not be cleaned. Tooth decays increase.
• General health:
  The bacteria plaque accumulating in the teeth triggers infection and heart diseases. They cause problems in the digestive system.
• Jaw joint diseases:
  Due to teeth and jaws that cannot close normally, calcifications and pains occur in the joint. This may cause immense headaches.
• Sleep disorders:
  Due to teeth and jaws that cannot close comfortably, sleeping disorders, sense of tiredness and hence, loss in work power occurs.
• Respiration:
  Teeth and jaws that cannot close ideally can cause the underdevelopment of the respiratory system and breathing difficulties.
• Nutrition:
  They may cause metabolism deficiencies due to insufficient chewing.

Today, orthodontic treatment is successfully applied in many age groups, including adults. Brackets and wires made of Porcelain and Teflon coated materials are made in the colour of teeth and provide aesthetic ease in the treatment.
